I adore every single piece of this. Every. Single. Piece. But! “Well, If I am to lose you to someone - I am glad it is to Boromir.” STAR! Holy shit, that is stunning. Impeccable. 10/10. Ugh, my heart. I cannot wait to read any and all of this fic. I can already tell it’s going to break my heart and put it back together again time after time.

Oh my god. I want to simply send every emoji from the ask game.

If it’s ok, I’m going to send a few:

⛅️💧⛈️

- 🚑

Aww, thanks. I'm sure if I searched through my WIPS for long enough I could come up with some things. In this process, I discovered how little I have written down for one of my main (eventual) longfics, how many plans I have with no many words, and many wips that haven't seen sunlight for many moons. Some of them are here :

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.

I have rather a large amount of wips, and far too much dialogue between them. Is this the best I've written? Probably not. Is this even my main fandom? No. Is this my most recent wip and something I'm proud of because I struggle with writing banter? Yes.

"I may yet forgive you," Astarion quips, "Depending on why you've spent so long admiring me."

"Admiring you?" Gale echoes, at first looking confused before realising Astarion's implications, "I assure you, it's simply-"

"Academic curiosity." Both of them say at the same time, Astarion grinning. He keeps the smile on his face as he asks, "But I'm in a generous mood today, what do you desperately want to ask me?"

"It's nothing." Gale insists again, "I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable."

"We've both been honest with each other about our afflictions," Astarion says it so casually that Gale almost wonders if they're talking about the same problems. "Besides, if I had been offended by your asking I doubt I would have given you enough information to write a book."

Gale makes a doubting noise, "Perhaps a brochure, a research paper."

"A short book?" Astarion asks.

"Perhaps not even a research paper," Gale muses. "I'd only have one source, after all."

"Well, ask what you want too." Astarion gestures to himself, "I am an open book."

"I was..." Gale seems apprehensive still, "Wondering about your mouth."

Astarion's eyes shine at the opportunity of an innuendo, before Gale talks over him, "Wait- your fangs, specifically."

"My fangs?" Almost absentmindedly, Astarion runs his tongue across his fangs. "It's an uncommon kink, but I'd be more than-"

"Academically wondering."

"I thought I wasn't even enough for a book." There's a fake hurt in his tone, and an element of teasing.

"Well, you can help support my hypothesis," Gale says amicably.

"Very well." Astarion smiles larger than he usually does, and for some reason Gale doesn't even interpret the show of fangs as threatening. But as- and then Astarion speaks, "What does our wizard need?"

🌩️ Share something funny/cracky from your WIP.

The humour is sprinkled throughout my cracky-est WIP, so I shall give a summary. We have the lovely Hawthorne finding a weirdly cheap place to rent. Unfortunately, students don't have too much choice.

Queue a fic's worth of shenanigans featuring eldritch-horror Mog, horribly confused Hawthorn, and a least seven times he's accidentally locked himself in the room with her and they've both been horrified about it. (it's nevermoor fandom for the people who inevitably won't get it)

💧Share something romantic/hot from your WIP, or just something sweet if it's gen.

This is a small extract from a fic I hope to become my magnum opus, that exists largely in my head. Have one of the few scenes that is written down - and will almost certainly change once it is published.

“Thank you.” The pause comes. “But my heart already belongs to another.”

“I thought you had no partner?” There’s some disappointment in Éowyn’s tone, and now a confused inflection for her.

“I do not. And what I have is not a longing I have shared with many, you would be right to assume there is no one in my life.”

“And you have not confessed? Most women have hopes of a man like you; I cannot see a lady who you knew well turning down your advances.”

“You may be overestimating, my lady.” Aranuir laughs, small but lighter than he has been for most of the conversation. His gaze lingers on Éowyn for a second, as if debating something in his mind. “Although even if your words are true… I am not convinced they would be helpful.”

What Aranuir has just said - has just admitted - hangs in the air as Éowyn processes them. This time minds go through her head, and a name briefly on her lips before she looks up at him. As if asking permission for the words, the writing on his heart, to finally be acknowledged and spoken aloud. A silent understanding passes between them, and then she straightens. Smiling, if only a little. “Well, if I am to lose you to someone - I am glad that it is to Boromir.”

I'm sure I have more snippets for more emojis if you're inclined, and thanks so much for sending them in! Hope you enjoyed the little snippets <3

[beatsheetromanroy]

it is very important to me that dean and cas were NOT sleeping together during gamble and carver eras. S4-5 crazy new chemistry i dont know you/ i’m in awe of you/ i’m terrified of you/ i hate you/i wonder why i want to spend time with you so badly backseat handjobs yes! then 6-10 it’s crickets. no sexual contact whatsoever (which doesn’t mean there’s no pining or attraction.) there’s just too much going on, one problem to solve after another, the new butterflies have been replaced by solid friendship and they never see each other enough. they don’t talk about it, they wonder if the other even remembers. maybe. maybe! there is a kiss or two in s11 but that’s it!!! then BAM! season 12. Immediately domestic boyfriendhusbands keeping a normal sex schedule of several times a week. it’s so routine it’s not exciting which is exciting in and of itself. and they even have sides of the bed.

[artuurle]

This isnt really an ask this is just me holding out my empty plate to you

More Grujaja stuff please!!!!! very yummers!!!! :D /noforce

Great news, i have a bit of unposted doodles of Grujaja cuz like i mention in other posts every time i draw smthn sad w him I cope by drawing cute or silly images. (and one other sad one oops)

the rest of the doodles are for my silly hc (honestly borderlining au at this point w the amount of images i've made for it lol) that caused this whole mess, those under the cut for the sanity of the people. [thumbs up]

Grujaja making Hector die from stress right before he tries to ascend to godhood.

bonus Capo trying and failing to pretend like he doesn't care as well. if you even cares. /silly

[lizzieraindrops]

You know what, I figured out why we're having so many errors in Destiny 2 now. It's because with the addition of Micah-10, we've finally reached a critical mass of women with drop dead gorgeous voices, and the game simply can't handle it anymore. It's like Telesto. Too powerful. If they'd actually put Ikora Rey in a rendered cutscene for more than 5 seconds it would have shut down the servers for good

[neodiekido]

*gritting teeth* it's really cool how the game itself extensively deconstructs maki's "cold ruthless killer" facade for you and has kaito look into the camera and explicitly tell you what her arc was about and the fandom still mostly portrays her as at best a girlboss and at worst a dumb evil bitch (who only exists to bully kokichi, the only character who's facade isn't meant to be taken at face value)

[inkskinned]

im gonna start a fight; and, at the same time, i need you to take this in the most good-faith way possible, but:

videos that involve body-checking and intentionally (and uncritically) show a mealplan of an unhealthy number of calories are just a revamped version of pro-ana food diaries.

and yeah, i know there's arguments. i address some of them under the cut. but at the end of the day, we're just coming back to romanticizing mental illness; we've just found a better platform for it.

this is already something we've done. we knew it was wrong and tried to stop it. and tbh. it just wasn't enough.

there are people who argue "well, what if you have an eating disorder, you can't help it if you don't eat!" except that as someone with an ED; we are not infants. we know what we're doing. part of having an ED is that you are like, maybe too self-aware. even if we can't help our own food choices, we don't need to fucking romanticize the disorder - something we've been warning you about since 2013. there are hours of setup, filming, and editing that go into these videos. they do not happen to fall into place randomly. there is a reason they are pieced together to be beautiful, bright, inspiring.

there's this woman who pretty much only posts daily plans under a normal amount of calories, and everyone defends her saying but it's better than nothing! and i'm like. except she opens those with images of her showing off her body and provides no context in the video or caption that suggests that she believes what she's doing is unhealthy. she has hundreds of thousands of followers on a platform designed for young kids and teens. i refuse to believe that by accident her content just happens to be cheery advice on "healthy" versions of starving.

for any other symptom of mental illness, we would be incredibly enraged by this kind of placid acceptance of a "tips and tricks" fast-start guide. imagine if people posted pink & pretty videos saying "best places to cut yourself" as if it was a fucking storytime. we, as a society, are so fucking fatphobic that we would rather accept blatantly harmful displays of self harm than admit that we are obsessed with a hyper-thin body type.

i am not suggesting someone never talks about their disorder. i talk about mine. actually, it's a plot point in my book.

here's the difference: i recognize it's a fucking mental illness. i am very careful to never mention a specific weight, eating pattern, or calorie plan. i always make sure to position it as something that ruined my fucking life. i do not put cheery music in the background and hearts and sparkles over my worst moments. i do not film it in bright light. i do not start each passage with an image of a thin body followed by "here's how to look like her."

eating disorders should not be framed as aspirational. and the problem is that society worships the "after" image, so long as you don't get too sick. there is a reason so many people who quit being "influencers" will later admit - i wasn't eating well that whole time; an obsession with food was completely destroying my life.

we let any uncredited, uncertified person write the most backwards, fucked up shit about how to get the body you desire! because the underlying, secret belief is: well, at least they're thin! and the real thing that fucking gets me each time - they make fucking money off of it. their irresponsibility and societal harm literally pays off for them.

"why do you care so much." "don't like it don't look." "so what if people experiment with new ways of thinking of food?"

thank you for asking. we're about to get extremely personal. it's because when i was 18 i discovered "thinspiration"/"thinspo." and it absolutely influenced, shaped, and codified my pre-existing eating disorder. i went from having some troubling habits and traits to being incredibly unwell within what felt like a matter of days. there were actual pages designed to train me on how to have an ED correctly. it was all so suddenly easy. i was sick; and the nature of the illness meant - i wanted to be sicker.

it takes an average of 7 years for a person to fully recover. i know this personally - even now, 10 years from the worst of it, i still fucking struggle. i am so much happier now and i eat what i want and i literally don't think about food at all (19 year old me would shudder) and yet - i still fucking know the calories of plain toast with butter.

an eating disorder is one of the deadliest types of mental illness. over 1 in 4 people with an ED will attempt suicide.

and i'm sorry. i just do not see the exchange rate of "high rate of engagement" versus "the value of a human life."

I LOVE MIXING FIXATIONS IT'S SO FUN!!!

Dust: An Elysian Tail but Rayman characters let's go😎

After extensive analysis of both games (five minutes of thought), we decided that most (not all) of the Warmbloods are teensies, the Mudpot folk are Glutes, and most (not all) Moonbloods are nightmares.

Here's the more focused roles I have paired for this AU:

Dust -> Rayman

This makes complete sense. Main character who is good at combat and kind at heart. Also has a lot of abilities in general lol

Fidget -> Murfy

I really don't care for Murphy buuuut I won't deny that he reminds me a lot of Fidget. Same vibes, different execution.

Aharah -> Maybe Ly?? Maybe Polokus???

That's cuz my man is a talking sword. He helps Dust with combat and advice cuz he's cool like that.

"See how lifelike it is?" (Ugly ass murphy plush)

"Oooh! Campfire fuel~"

Ginger -> Goth Teensy

This is a mix of personal hcs and just cuz vibes lol. Both are angsting and have affiliations with the opposing groups in the series. (Goth with the Livid Dead door, Ginger with the Moonbloods).

"And who are you really? The last time I saw a thingamajig was when my brother died!"

Sereth -> The First King

This one was a little more difficult to decide, but I like this choice lol. The First King being a dream and nightmare creature in all technicality that I would imagine has a similar personality to Sereth is fun. Also he's a little scary looking, which works with canon. Also his eyes are glossed over so it looks like the Sereth's glowing eyes.

"I am here to serve~"

BELOW ARE SPOILERS FOR DUST: AN ELYSIAN TAIL!! PLEAAAAAAAASE PLAY THE GAME OR WATCH A PLAYTHROUGH OR SOMETHING BEFORE LOOKING AT THESE I BEG!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE TWIST FOR Y'ALL!!

Now that that's out of the way, here are the spoiler doodles.

Can you-c-can you guess who Rayman was created from?

Can you can you?

That's right!

THE MAGICIANS!!

"Forever in battle. Forever at odds."

When I made this decision I felt so smart. They're the same name, same vibes, and the idea that Rayman got his whimsicalness from the Magician and the violent tendencies of Ales makes so much sense to me.

"Only impossible for a creature with a single soul."

"I am Rayman."

Also I get to draw him with the teensy boba eyes, which is a win for me.

I'll probably make more stuff for this cuz I really like this idea. The story will have creative liberties though for character motivation, but that's not too important lol.

Have a lovely day fellas :)))

[princessefemmelesbian]

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.

Armand is so desperate for any scrap of control and to secure companionship with the two he’s always wanted that he holds their own relationship hostage! Keeping Louis and Lestat apart from each other so he can be their sole means of connection and therefore never fully abandoned by either.

When Optimus in Chaos Theory said "Hatred may sustain you, but it diminishes me. I am lessened by it." that was so fucking deep of him
